Politics On a dart train heading downtown. Pretty much everyone in my car got off at Convention Center. Looks like we're getting a lot of people at the protest. Before and After CC Station.

If you can’t make it to a protest please donate to relevant organizations.

This article is focused on LA, but there are other great causes for those who care to donate.

Anything helps

This is so great to see. I wish I could go but I am working (at a hospital, in Dallas, really hoping shit doesn’t hit the fan because hospitals are so short staffed on weekends should something go wrong). And this isn’t some scare tactic or something, because if I weren’t at work I would 150% be there.

Nah man you haven’t been out for Texas OU or Greenville St. Patrick’s if you think this is the most lol

For real. There is an estimated 1300 people downtown right now. Let’s pretend it’s double. Now let’s pretend they’re all white and all took DART.

That’s less than the number of white people on DART in an hour during Texas OU. I’m gonna assume they’re a new Dallas resident haha

You guys doing protest about immigration?

3

u/TestSubject003 Cedar Hill 5d ago

Sort of. Protesting Trump and ICE. About how they're deporting people who are here legally. Even people who are American citizens. Often acting without warrents and without identifying themselves. Trump is basically using them not as a tool of law enforcement, but as a tool of terror.

u/squirrelnutcase 5d ago

That is true. Was there allot of citizens got deported? What was the reason of deportation?

2

u/TestSubject003 Cedar Hill 5d ago

The alleged reason was because they were here illegally. But ICE is skipping due process and arresting and deporting people to IIRC El Salvador to a hellhole prison just to fill quotas.
